Yes indeed, Graham, one can find tons of infos as well as breathtaking reports on Svend's website. Isn't it fascinating, folks, how much such a stone can tell us not only from his very beginning, but also from his hot ride through the atmosphere? I must confess that I am always anew

Hi Steve, Fred, all... Marvelous! Now we saw examples of Bensour, Mauretania, Chelyabinsk and have from old literature Pultusk and Mocs.. ...seems that Captain Blood's Orientata needs a new chapter: Color-Orientation! (Fascinating, after such a long time spent with meteorites, we from the

Re: [meteorite-list] Red(dish) Fusion Crust

This is seen on many stones, I have a Bensour that is almost red. I have many Chelyabinsk stones also with brown to red crust, and some iridescent in every color in the rainbow. This is seen in many L and LL falls, but generally only before exposure to water. However I found my first

Re: [meteorite-list] Red(dish) Fusion Crust

Hi, But, then...why don't H chondrites usually form such red fusion crusts? But they do, the example on Svend's page is a Buzzard Coulee, and in literature you read it about Pultusk. This list seems to have a short memory. Well, the specialty here, is that a colour variation in the crust, if

Re: [meteorite-list] Red(dish) Fusion Crust

Hola, Looking at his pagethe Buzzard is red to a much lesser extent. Good observation, though -- it makes sense that H's would still show at least some hematite presence, if that is was causes the red coloration. The first link in my last email goes against what you say above. Note that the

Re: [meteorite-list] Red(dish) Fusion Crust

Hiho, I'm thrilled, maybe now many readers of the list rush to their drawers and showcases, to look for more examples of other falls, where they thought before, that the lighter colour was due terrestrial oxidation and the individuals not that fresh. Let's wait, what they'll find! Martin

Hi Bulletin Watchers, There are several new approvals. Most of them are meteorites from various deserts (NWA, Chile, etc). One is the Indian Butte Arizona fall of 1998. There are also several Vestans and type-3 finds newly approved. Link -

I will take a SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) at the color differential. I know when I was having a glass blower prepare NWA 482 pendants that some of the material would turn red.  He was exposing material to the oxidizing part of the flame and not the reducing part.  We corrected the
